It's fine, it's what I use.

Yes, corn starch is just fine and is great for thickening things.

If you are making gravy, or thickening a soup with potatoes in it, try using potato flour. That just adds to the potato taste of gravy on mashed potatoes or potato soup :-)

Just something to note - I found that after I was gluten-free for a while, I also noticed that I was reacting to corn products. So, my problem with corn isn't gluten related, but my body definitely does not like it. I use tapioca starch and rice flour for all of my thickening needs.

Corn starch is, well, corn. That's all. But as mentioned above, some of us are sensitive to other foods besides just gluten. I don't have a problem with corn or soy, but sensitivities to these foods are not unusual.

S,

Do you mean potato flour flour, or potato starch flour? The reason I ask is 'cause I have a box of ener-g potato flour flour that I haven't even used yet. It's so dense & heavy that I've been reluctant to add it to my flour/starch blends.

best regards, lm

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
